APPENDIX A
Mayor’s speech, 25 January 2016.
Welcome to our first Council meeting for 2016. It’s great to be back here in the Council chambers tonight and getting back to work!
Before we get started I want to say a few words – to set the tone for tonight, and the year ahead; review where we’ve come from over the past 12 months and set the focus to where we will be going this year. Council leadership involves an inescapable dilemma – to plan for a future that can only be dimly discerned BUT the capabilities of Council is that we will develop skills, and dispositions to live effectively and well for our residents in an ever changing world. Now, tonight I want to talk about my goals for us as Elected Members, both individually and collectively.
2015 was a significant year for Charles Sturt. Not only was it our first full year together as a new Council, it also involved some major projects and changes that had immediate effect.
Let me name a few:
1. We completed a major redevelopment of Henley Square.
2. We farewelled a Chief Executive, and then welcomed a new one, Paul Sutton.
3. We strategically planned to build bi‐lateral business relationships with China, which I know
will have significant impacts on businesses in our City and beyond for years to come.
These are just a few of the highlights – and there were, of course, more.
I was personally pleased with the way we all worked together as one committed group in 2015. I mention elected members, Council staff and the various communities that contributed positively to our City.
My theme for 2015 was, “We are all in this together”. In 2015, our council meetings were productive and collaborative, and even when we disagreed on the issues, we did so with sensitivity, professionalism and respect because we are all in this together.
My theme for 2016 is, “By being connected, we belong”. I look forward to being connected because it nurtures a spirit of cooperation, collaboration and a sense of belonging and this must be done in 2016. We, as a Council must strive to create a sense of belonging for our residents. Let me name a few ways:
‐ We will continue working on the last section of Adelaide’s Coast Path, between Grange and
Semaphore. This will enable all people to feel connected to our City. It will bring 1000’s of
people to our City to admire and enjoy what we have to offer.
‐ We also have the potential to revitalise and make the St Clair Recreation Precinct a stellar
recreational complex with a multi‐functional purpose. Once again this precinct will connect
people and give them a sense of belonging.
‐ We have invested time to consult around Hard Waste, Speed Limits and a range of other
important projects.
‐ All this was done because we knew we’re in this together to create a vibrant and practical
City.
City of Charles Sturt 4. CL Report 25/01/16
MAYORAL REPORT ‐ DECEMBER 2015 Item 3.1
APPENDIX A Continued
But now, the focus intensifies. All of our good work as Elected Members must focus on connecting with residents, staff and other agencies such as businesses, community groups and governments to grow this sense of belonging. If the first year is about setting the tone and direction of the Council, and the 4th is about leading up to the next term’s elections, it is years two and three which provide us with the best opportunity to get things done, together. I’m looking forward to a productive 12 months, where we make things happen by being brave, and true to the vision we share for this City. We must work together to create connections, for all to have a sense of belonging, that is real. This means we must all have the capacity to respond creatively to situations that have the potential to shape the future. I encourage all of you to consider the role we play as leaders in our community and to continue providing an example for all, in your work ethic, your reliability, your accountability and your desire to achieve a well‐functioning, sustainable City. Finally, my hope for our Council this year is that we be invitational. We know that when we are invited, it is the first step of feeling connected. If we do our job well in this regard, we create a sense of belonging for all. What I mean by this is we will invite the community to be a part of the vision, of creating opportunities where they feel connected to our City and experience a deep, personal satisfaction that they truly belong. For this to happen:
We must be welcoming
We must be innovative
We must be convinced that whatever we do is for the benefit of our residents and our City.
We are all here because we want to be part of something bigger than ourselves and because of the support we’ve received from our community who have trusted us to make important decision on their behalf. I know that I see this is a tremendous honour and responsibility, and my focus for the year will be on creating connections of inclusivity and making sure that our community have opportunities to belong. We are future‐orientated and as such we will be promoting deep, intelligent, and professional relationships. Let us continue to make our City of Charles Sturt a shining example of best practice, in all our decision making and interactions. Remember ‐ by being connected, we belong.
